Do you want to get rid of spiders? Spider control is important, but it’s not always needed unless you have an infestation or poisonous house spiders are present. A few house spiders aren’t necessarily a cause for alarm, but if you’re not sure, this is one reason why pest control companies such as ours offer free evaluations. You don’t want to remain oblivious to a danger for fear of cost. Here are some good tips for spider pest control you can do yourself:
One. To get rid of house spiders and control their population, start with regular cleaning. Spiders love to populate corners and hard to reach places. You may not be able to get there easily, but bugs can, and that makes for a perfect spider home.
Two. Spiders need food, and that means mosquitoes, flies, bugs of almost any sort. Make sure your screen windows are secure and that cracks are sealed up. Clean up crumbs and don’t leave water out. These things attract bugs, which in turn attract spiders. Dump out any standing water you see on your property. These are breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Three. Take away their hiding spots. Spiders love to hang out under stones, in wood piles, around messy stumps and uncleaned clutter such as compost. Glue traps are useful up to a point, but are not always effective. Glue traps also need to be kept away from children and pets.
Four. Some insecticides are better than others in terms of staving off spiders. Other insecticides may be good at harming spiders, but may also harm you, your children, or your pets. The best course in keeping spiders away is usually to consult a pest control specialist. Pest control companies can give you the rundown of different solutions that will be appropriate for your home and living circumstances.
